What is on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board for December 29, 2021?


Some 2022 events are now posted on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board.  For 2022 I hope to see the start of construction on our Northern Lights Express passenger train service, the end of COVID-19 in human society, as well as the start of the My Little Pony: A New Generation television series.

Today, I saw “The Matrix Resurrections”


As I love the concept of stories set inside virtual reality worlds, such as Only Sense Online; I love the fourth installment of this franchise.  I’m giving this entertaining movie 9.5 out of 10.

For a second time, I loved watching “Spider-Man: No Way Home”


I loved finding all the small background details that I missed during the first time I saw Spider-Man: No Way Home.

I loved watching “Spider-Man: No Way Home”


This is the most entertaining Spider-Man movie that I have ever seen!  Spider-Man: No Way Home is a 10 out of 10 movie!

What is on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board for December 9, 2021?

 


Will the King Manor apartment residents' club have a happy 2021 Christmas party?  Or, will the deadly and resurging COVID-19 pandemic cause HRA management to cancel our Christmas party this year?

What is on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board for December 4, 2021?

I made strawberry flavored, gelatin desserts


After six hours, I made flavorful, three layer gelatin desserts that my friends tell me that these taste very good.


Sunday, November 21, 2021

I’m making strawberry flavored, gelatin desserts


I’m using Strawberry JELL-O ®, Super chill ® Strawberry pop, Duncan Hines ® More Fruit Strawberry, and Bolthouse ® Farms Strawberry Banana.  I’m making these while watching the Packers versus Vikings game.

I saw Ghostbusters: Afterlife


If you love the original two Ghostbusters movies, you will love Ghostbusters: Afterlife.  I give Ghostbusters: Afterlife a ten out of ten.

Yesterday evening, I saw the play “Annie” at the Duluth Playhouse!


This was the first time in many years that I’d see a live stage performance.  The last time was at UMD’s Marshall Performing Arts Center.  Annie was very enjoyable, as everyone in the play did their jobs well.  I hope to see another play soon.

I saw the breathtakingly beautiful “Eternals”


The Eternals movie is the most entertaining movie I’ve seen this year.  I judge this movie to be 10 out of 10.

Today, I saw “Ron's Gone Wrong”


II saw this movie with low expectations.  But, I was blown away with how good this movie is.  I give Ron's Gone Wrong 9 out of 10 stars!

I found an inspirational message on First Street.


I found this graffiti between North First Avenue East and North Second Avenue East.  This graffiti is on an antiques and collectables shop that burned to a shell a few months ago.


Downtown Duluth Graffiti


This art is in the alley behind and north of the Temple Opera Block building.  The art is near North Second Avenue East.  By the way, I would love to see the lost three floors and observation tower dome of the Temple Opera Block building, rebuilt as it was when the building was first built in 1890.



This more complex graffiti is several meters east of the first graffiti.

For dinner, I have eaten “Kraft Unicorn Shapes Macaroni and Cheese Meal”


Kraft has made tasty pasta that has the shapes of beautiful unicorns, my favorite mythological creatures.  To answer your question, I didn’t draw the small mustache on the charming unicorn.


Tuesday, October 5, 2021

I saw “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”


The second Venom movie is even better than the first movie.  This is a 10 out of 10 movie!


Misplaced Mail for October 5, 2021


Sometimes, other residents’ mail appears in my mailbox.  Then, I must make an attempt to get that letter to their rightful recipient.

Gothic Poster I found at UMD Duluth


I have no idea who made this poster, why it was made, and why it was abandoned on a cafeteria table.

UMD pie chart


I found this pie chart next to an office in the Solon Campus Center (SCC).

I bought one 12pk of 12oz cans of Grain Belt Blu at Canal Park Liquors


I found my inebriation, drinking blueberry beer.  Yes, that’s a rephrase on the title, “I found my freedom, on Blueberry Hill”.  My friends and I are going to drink Grain Belt Blu while watching today’s Minnesota Vikings vs. Seattle Seahawks game.  This week is my turn to buy the game beer.


I found a hilariously defaced street light


This is on the south side of Superior Street, across the street from the demolished Voyageur Lakewalk Inn and soon to be built Lakeview Apartments.  Yet the Lakeview Apartments will diminish the lake view from King Manor.  My title of this image is “Eyes on Superior Street”.

I attended the University of Minnesota Duluth Mid-Autumn Party


Hosted by the Chinese Student and Scholars Association, this open to everybody party is held to celebrate the Chinese traditional Mid-Autumn festival.  This party was held in the Kirby Student Center (KSC), Kirby Ballroom.  I spent five dollars to buy a ticket and must have eaten at least ten dollars worth of food.


I found a Duluth Lakewalk construction site


This construction site to reinforce the shoreline is west of Leif Erikson Park.

A Car Drives Through It, last image


I hope whoever owns that car has good automobile insurance to cover that damage.


A Car Drives Through It Three


I’ve hear that people should take their own path in life.  But, taking a path through the steel fence at King Manor is the wrong path to take.  I wonder how the driver drove through that steel fence.  Was the driver driving drowsy, drunk, stoned, or all three at the same time?


Also, any photographers that read my blog should be aware that excellent photographic opportunities could happen right outside your front door.


In addition, a light rain started falling around King Manor a few seconds before I could take this beautiful image.


A Car Drives Through It Two


A vehicle recover crew is at King Manor, East Second Street.


A Car Drives Through It One


Yes, that’s a pun on the movie title “A River Runs Through It”.

I love attending fan conventions


I love attending with my friends fan conventions such as Anime Detour or AniMinneapolis.  But, I was unable to attend any of these in 2021.  I hope that I can attend one or two or three conventions in 2022.


Chalk Art for September 2021


I continue to wonder who the artist is that makes these wonderful murals.


What is on King Manor’s fourth floor bulletin board for September 17, 2021


“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”

– Albert Einstein


Chester Creek stream gauge


East of the Chester Park Playground, I found this sign and stream water level height gauge.



The water level is low at Chester Creek on Saturday September 12, 2021.


The pedestrian bridge south of Chester Park Playground

 


This is an image of the pedestrian bridge south of Chester Park Playground, looking north towards the playground.


The coffee cup is there to give a sense of scale.  A sense of scale is created by the juxtaposition of objects and subjects within the frame that establishes a size relationship based upon that juxtaposition.

I attended the AFL-CIO Labor Day Picnic 2021


This is the yummy and free food that I ate at Bayfront Festival Park.



This is the portable stage for political speakers and local bands that provided live music.


West of the Duluth Depot, I found a sinkhole.


Located on the south side of West Michigan Street, I found two flashing barricades.



The sinkhole was not that deep or wide.  Yet, someone could get in trouble if they fell into this hole.

I saw “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”


Many years ago, I first read about the Mandarin fighting the Hulk in elementary school.  This new story is much better than the comic I read and is worthy of a 10 out of 10 score.

I saw PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE (2021)


Paw Patrol’s positive messages about believing in yourself and your ability to create positive change in your community is just what I needed to hear.  This is a 9 out of 10 movie.

I attended AICHO’S Indigenous Food & Art Market


Here is the event sign, with a COVID-19 Community Mobile Vaccination Bus on the east side of North First Avenue East.



Here is an image of the AICHO event and all the vender tents.
